Security forces used tear gas to disperse stone-throwing Arab youths in the West Bank town of Halhoul yesterday. They were summoned after the youngsters blocked the main road with wrecked cars. The incident was one of a rash of disturbances on the West Bank yesterday, mainly by highschool students. Curfews were imposed and lifted after several hours.
Other incidents were reported at Bethlehem and Beit-Sahur. They were apparently in reaction to recent orders prohibiting Arabs from constructing houses at Beit Sahur, the fencing off of areas near Hebron by Israeli authorities and general anti-Camp David sentiments. A small explosive change was discovered and safely dismantled at a soldiers pick-up station in Fetach Tikva last night.
